 * After the last wordfence update I get the following error
    XML-RPC authentication
   is disabled. Jetpack is currently active and requires XML-RPC authentication 
   to work correctly. Manage Settings
 * When I go to the wordfence settings for this
 *  Disable XML-RPC authentication
    If disabled, XML-RPC requests that attempt authentication
   will be rejected.
 * The box is check and when I uncheck it and save it simply refreshes with the 
   box still checked, please advise

 * Hi [@mdknight](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdknight/),
 * Can you run the following query to manually enable XML-RPC?
 * `UPDATE wp_wfls_settings SET value=1 WHERE name='allow-xml-rpc' OR name='xmlrpc-
   enabled';`
 * Remember to change `wp_` to your table prefix. (`wp_` is the default prefix)
